Paro - Thimphu - Gangtey - Phobjikha Valley Trek -
Wangdue - Punakha - Paro

A trip that incorporates an exploration of the historical and cultural highlights of Bhutan and a short trek, which reveals Bhutan’s natural beauty and visits several remote villages and monasteries.

The highlight is a 3-day trek into the beautiful Phobjikha valley, one of the few glacial valleys in Bhutan, which lies in the mountains east of Wangduephodrang.

The great monastery of Gangtey was established in the 17th century and the village of Phobjikha lies a few kilometers down from the monastery, on the valley floor. This quiet, remote valley is the chosen winter home of the rare black necked cranes, which migrate here annually from the Tibetan plateau.

This moderate trek visits the villages of Gogona and Khotokha, passing through meadows and fields, then forests of juniper, magnolia and rhododendrons in full bloom in April. It is one of the finest low level treks in Bhutan.
